06 Short Bus LJ

[Cascadia]

Picked this up last week. Still not sure what the plans are for it or if it will stay in my garage long. I've been daily driving it rather than my diesel and it's been nice. Bought off a BYU girl and it had been babied by the dealer and I don't think ever seen dirt. As jeeps go, I was already bored with its look and how stock it was. Chad donated some 3" LJ springs that he had leftover from his. I picked up some Rubi take offs and ordered a set of 1.25" wheel adapters. I need to get one more to fit the spare. Got it all done late last night and I think it looks worlds better. Now if I could just get the yellow to come off.

And this is how it sits after the adapters, wheels, tires, and 3" springs.

It's people like you that make me sell vehicles. I'm all happy and minding my own business when you come along and put the thought in my head that I can sell a vehicle fast. Then I think, I can sell it faster than that.

If anybody wants this it has 96k miles, is in excellent shape and I'll take $15k for it.

Paul, his wife is just as bad. She can't keep a car very long either.

She's pretty good now that she found something she loves. Had her tdi q5 over 2 years now.

why did you buy it if you don't like the color?

 

[Spork]

I'd be tempted to try doing a vinyl wrap on it if you're not a fan of the yellow.

Tyson does not do things like us normal folks do........don't try and understand it.

 

[Cascadia]

Why not? It was a good deal and it had not been beat on like every other Jeep out there. Low miles, never been off-road. Really, it was super clean underneath and no skid marks or bent control arm mounts or anything. I'd much rather live with the wrong color than a beat down Jeep. It looks a lot better now to me with the darker wheels. The yellow isn't nearly as bad.

 

[smartass_kid]

sounds smart, i like the yellow and was just curious.
it was just the only thing you mentioned that you didn't like about it and it is the first thing you see when you look at it.

I don't know what a clean chassis looks like. I do like that yellow though

If you can get the fender flares to be black again that will continue to clean up the look.

(I personally like yellow jeeps)

Hit them with a heat gun! If you don't have one, they're like $15 at Harbor Freight and they'll look good with minimal effort!


I think it looks great with the JK wheels & tires and 3" springs... I think you should leave it just like that and enjoy it!

I plan on the heat gun tomorrow Greg. Russ told me to do the same thing. And I like the looks of the bus now too so I'll leave it like that for a while. Hopefully longer than past experience.

If you get serious about selling, let me know. My BIL is looking for one.

Also, back to black plastics restorer is awesome. It puts the oils back into the plastics that the sun took out. It's cheap and found at most auto parts stores. Wipe it on witg a rag and that's it.

Keep it stock!!!

This is my 2nd LJ. There's nothing really fun about stock. But I don't plan on doing much with it. Probably done putting any money in it for now. Especially if pkrfctr has someone that might want it.
